I love tile. I might even be a little obsessed with tile. So the fact that tile, even very bold tile, is making a comeback in the bathroom has me very excited.

For those who've ever wondered if a watched pot ever really does boil, it may be time to invest in an electric kettle. The gadget gets you boiling water fast, whether you need it for tea, coffee, or even cooking.

When I started dating Jeff back in 2009, one of the first things he told me was how his dream was to build a house for his family some day.

"As well as plenty of practical living and working space, we also included integrated storage at the far end of the garden room, which works neatly with the streamlined design, tucking away down the side of the main house. As you can see, although this project is built in relative proximity to this customer’s home, there is still plenty of access space around the garden room itself, which is accentuated by their large social patio area." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday posts are sponsored by Garden Spaces , suppliers of contemporary garden buildings, offices, gyms and studios, many of which do not require planning
